    I'm in no position to tell you if his liver is in good shape, but he seems mentally stronger than, well, a precise 100% of the people who are still in meltdown because he got the job.

    So, no good reason to believe it then.

    What reason do I have not to? I mean we could play this game all fucking day. How can you be sure Abe Lincoln was fit for office? Because his doctor said so? Well that's great, clearly he was insane.

    Fuck's sake.

    But that's precisely the argument that's being touted here by the T.I.'s. The doctor says Trump is in great shape, and anyone who questions that based on their own eyes and ears isn't an independent thinker but instead is a libtard grasping at straws because we should believe what his doctor says.

    I mean I don't have enough data to pass judgment about his physical health other than that he's fat, eats garbage and doesn't exercise. And from that, I find it unlikely he's the prime specimen they're making him out to be. Is that such a strange suspicion to have?

    That isn't the chain of logic here and you know it.

    I don't have a battery of neurological tests to tell me if Trump can remember what happened 10 minutes ago, or understands right from wrong. But on the basis of one very simple cognitive test, we're supposed to believe he's perfectly fine, while ignoring a lot of his questionable behavior. Have you seen that test? You get 6 points just for knowing the date and where you are ffs. Another question asks you to identify three line drawings of a camel, lion, and rhinoceros. Another one asks you to draw a clock with the hands pointing to 11.10.

    http://dementia.ie/images/uploads/si...nglish_7_1.pdf

    Next they'll be saying we should believe what they tell us about 9/11 or JFK because it's the government and they never lie, and they did one test that shows something definitely hit the wtc. I mean some of those people who were on the 9/11 commission had degrees from good universities, come on how can you question them?

    No. I couldn't give a fuck what his doctor say to be honest. I'm assuming he's perfectly fine because the only evidence to suggest otherwise is [banshee shrieks].

    He's fat? So is most of America. He eats garbage? Yeah welcome to America. Doesn't exercise? That's interesting, considering he also plays too much golf.

    Banshees, the fucking lot of you.

    I can guess the "T", but what does the "I" stand for?

    If you're actually a doctor, with training, experience, and a medical degree, and you diagnose Trump without examining him, you are guilty of a significant ethical violation.

    If you're NOT actually a doctor, an don't have training, or experience, or a medical degree, and you diagnose Trump, without examining him, you are guilty of shameful, hopeless, partisan idiocy!

    I mean I don't have enough data to pass judgment about his physical health other than that he's fat, eats garbage and doesn't exercise.
    No on disagrees with this, not even the doctor. It was in the report, it was said in the press conference. Trump needs to lose some lbs, improve his diet, and exercise more. Happy now??

    And from that, I find it unlikely he's the prime specimen they're making him out to be. Is that such a strange suspicion to have?
    Who used the term "prime specimen"? You seem to be grading Trump's fitness on some kind of universal scale. At the top of your scale are people like Floyd Mayweather, Michael Phelps, or Deion Sanders in his prime. Ok...so Trump probably isn't at the top of that scale, and no one ever claimed he was. For a 71 year old man, he is in an extremely high percentile of fitness. Why are you suspicious of that?

    I don't have a battery of neurological tests to tell me if Trump can remember what happened 10 minutes ago, or understands right from wrong.
    Yet you have no problem drawing conclusions. Again, it saddens me that you're an educator.

    But on the basis of one very simple cognitive test
    Simplicity does not negate validity, reliability, or accuracy.

    we're supposed to believe he's perfectly fine, while ignoring a lot of his questionable behavior.
    For the 1000th time....a Trump blooper reel is NOT a diagnostic tool.

    Have you seen that test?
    Have you seen what virtually every medical expert on the subject says about the test?

    Next they'll be saying we should believe what they tell us about 9/11
    If you want to say that there is information missing that the government redacted on some 'national security' grounds that may or may not be exaggerated....then ok. You're probably right. If you're telling me that terrorists didn't hijack planes and crash them into buildings, then you should wear less tinfoil.

    or JFK
    Same as above. Besides, even with the 'official' government story, there still enough FACTS (not speculation....FACTS) for people to draw the reasonable conclusion that the secret service killed JFK, albeit on accident.

    Going to the fridge is exercise if you do it 80-odd times over the course of a few hours, while hitting a lemon with a stick every time.

    First, Trump trolling the Women's March was hilarious.

    Second, the Women's March is a fucking joke ran by clowns. But hey, at least they didn't invite any speakers who were convicted terrorist murderers or convicted rape-torturer murders this year. That's progress.

    Yeah, but I think women are allowed to vote now. A zillion of them marching in the streets saying they hate you probably isn't a good thing for a politician.

    The funny thing is that we can expect that to change very quickly and unexpectedly. It's like how in just the span of a couple years the womens movement went from fighting against oppression to fighting for those exact oppressors. The cause is probably the agreeable nature of the fairer sex. So, one day we'll wake up and the trend will move in a different direction, and so will the womens movement.

    Example of how High Energy memeing is serious business.



    The Identity Politics Democrats don't know what is hitting them. A mere peep outside the bubble can be enough.
  20. #7370
    Thing I'm not excited about wrt that is that Trump is always the bad guy. Look at all the Trump memeing, he's always the bad guy. He's Scarface or Don Corleone. It's a little Freudian but not in a bad way. We need a bad guy right now since all the good guys are cucks. But I'm not the world's biggest fan of any semblance of Democrats being the bad guys. No, they're the good guys. The two-faced good guys that you love at first but get their comeuppance in the end because they snuck around and now their jig is up. Though this particular rendition probably fits since Dr. Evil and co. aren't truly bad. They're clowny and incompetent. Not sure if that fits though. Clowny and incompetent is different than underhanded and two-faced.

    Campaigning on the idea that obamacare is not a tax, and then getting it through the supreme court on the grounds that congress has the right to levy taxes.......

    Initiating surveillance on a presidential candidate and political enemy, during a campaign, based on a paid-for dossier full of salacious garbage...

    The IRS scandal.....

    The FBI going easy on Hillary....

    The 'pay for play' scandals surrounding Hillary's time as secretary of state....

    AG whatzherface meeting with Bill Clinton on a plane....

    Speaking of Bill Clinton....purjury

    The DNC boxed out Bernie....

    I mean, how corrupt does a party have to be before we start calling them bad guys?

    Eh I'm making a sort of literary metaphor and stuff.

    The Democrats are bad news according to reality.

    I always find it interesting how Trump is the bad guy in memes. I also find it interesting how most things that are good for you feel bad. Are they related? Probs malobs.

    I think it's fine. The Dems have made a career of identity politics and villainizing the competition. Inside their own echo chamber, they were cheered. When Obama was president, they were emboldened. But what they didn't realize was that they were creating a "silent majority".

    The crazies on the left are gonna keep meme-ing Trump in all kinds of derogatory ways. The crazies on the right are gonna keep meme-ing the Dems in all kinds of derogatory ways. However, in the middle, are a hell of a lot of people who say "Just cause I'm white, doesn't mean I'm privileged" and "Just cause I want immigrants to come in legally, doesn't mean I'm racist" and "Just because I believe in meritocracy, doesn't mean I hate the poor" etc etc etc etc.

    These people can't speak up. They can't present their side, no matter how many facts back it up. Their debate opponents don't want to debate. They won't accept reason. They only know how to cry "unfair", flex a sense of entitlement, and talk about how fucking great it is in Denmark even though 99% of them have never even been there.

    So keep it up Dems. Keep feeding the crazies on your side while simultaneously alienating more and more independent thinkers. The silent majority grows, and when the voting booths open again, you will hear our voice.

    It's a keen observation.

    Who's the coolest literary figure in the last ten years? Walter White, that's who.

    Could be that what they said was always true, that politics is downwind from culture.

    Man I love that as an partial explanation for and about Trump (and the audience that points the finger). It's not a full explanation, as there are some very important differences. But I think there really is something to the Bad Guy/Scarface/Trump dynamic.

    That's right. It's the last time we're gonna see somebody do "everything wrong" while getting it right, while disrupting the corruption of the "good guys" that have been doing bad for so long.

    I couldn't say it better myself. Holier-than-thou assholes. Blowhards became that the moment they decided that Trump is their enemy.

    If Trump gets re-elected, and controls at least one house of congress at the time, then some high ranking Dems should think seriously about fleeing to Costa Rica.

    Well, with the un-hidden information, it's pretty easy to infer what the memo is likely to say.

    And it's only hidden for the moment. For what I gather the committees and hearings and such that it takes to release the memo takes 19 congressional business days. Which puts the release in mid-March.

    EDIT: TIL that there is such a thing as "congressional business days" that is different from regular "business days". Work harder congress.

    I tend to agree.

    IMO any bombshell will be unexpected. Though there may also be a drip, drip, drip of related subject material leading up to that to properly massage public opinion for what's to come. But yeah, the more you hear about something like this before it happens, the less likely it is to be juicy.
  43. #7393
    Kim Dotcom, Hannity, others, they have teased major bombshells a bunch in the past. A big fat zero percent of them have been anything other old lady queef.

    IIRC that was teased in promos during the day for the primetime viewing. That's a different animal. Though that doesn't mean that's not how it would be done with somebody like Hannity, but that nigga cried wolf way too many times by now.

    I was being sarcastic about the Maddow thing. If you remember, she had a big fat nothingburger to present on TV.

    I'm with you on Hannity. How that guy gets fired up night after night can't be real. So you can divide everything he says by 3, and that's about all it's worth.

    My inference here is that the memo is going to detail some wildly indefensible justification for the surveillance put on Trump during the campaign and during the transition. My bold prediction here is that it shows unlawful collusion between the Obama administration and the Hillary campaign.

    no, the question is WHY it happened.

    It's one thing if Obama was just being a good Democrat and trying to find dirt on Trump so he could take him down. I mean, that's corrupt and wrong, and all that but....

    I think it would be a metric-shit-ton worse if we found out that Hillary was in actual kahootz with Obama who was using the power of the presidency to influence the outcome of an election.

    One is a power-overreach driven by petty partisanship.

    The other is a tyrannical conspiracy.

    Maybe the memo proves that Obama intentionally pinned the Russia stuff on Trump just to fuck him up. And when the memo is released, Mueller's little project comes to a screeching halt.

    Crazy shit is....you will STILL see people on CNN that day saying "we should still investigate Trump/Russia collusion"

    Who do ya think Pence will make his running mate in 2024? I'm going with Nikki Haley.

    Pence defo winning 2024, probably by a significantly wider margin than Trump will in 2020. I'm still pretty surprised at how many conservatives and conservative-minded people just do not like Trump at all because of his demeanor.

    And which crime is that? Giving millions of people healthcare who didn't have it before? Do you know the number of lives the man saved single-handedly just from preventing suicides of transgender individuals by allowing them to get the healthcare they need?

    Hey, some bait I don't mind taking!

    Saying a President's urging of a policy affected anything "single-handedly" is misleading.

    Presidents don't make laws, they urge lawmakers.

    If Congress could have done it themselves, they would have done it before he was in office. I know that you can't understand that because you're a part of the same cisgender heteronormative patriarchal power structures, which blinds you to how things really work when people like Barack Obama makes sweeping changes to actually help people.

    Saying a President's urging of a policy affected anything "single-handedly" is misleading.

    Presidents don't make laws, they urge lawmakers.

    Telling when Spoon is trolling is easy. All ya gotta do is not assume he's mean-hearted and stupid.

    Why would you apply some strange moralistic view to him that he never abides by?

    I see two ways to interpret this:

    1) Democrats are extra extra retarded

    2) This story went through Fox New's spin cycle and the democrats real position is that "We don't need ICE 'cause the wall works so damn well".

    It's probably not #2

    Has Trump said anything about Kamala Harris?

    You know he's most afraid of Oprah running because he said he would love to run against her and knows her secrets. It's a bluff attempting to persuade Oprah to not run. But I'm wondering if he has said anything about Harris.

    A quick google search only turns up instances of Harris trolling Trump.

    I think the chances of Obama winning a third term in a hypothetical 2016 election were zilch. To me, a Harris run looks like it would be approximately the same. Except subtract the penis, subtract a shitload of charisma, subtract a record to run on, and add-in some extra angry identity politics.

    Surely if the Dems campaign for the removal of the agency that enforces immigration laws, they are committing electorial suicide? That can only appeal to the hard left.

    I'm wondering if he's silent on her because he wants to run against her. Could be other reasons though.

    Word is that she has major serious skeletons in the sanctuary city closet.

    It's a really strange thing to propose, for sure.

    Trump could fuck that up though. He's pretty much dared Sessions to take down sanctuary city policies. And Sessions doesn't seem to have much else on his plate. So if he is successful in getting a federal circuit and/or supreme court to declare sanctuary cities illegal (which they most certainly are), then that kinda takes all the bite out of any debate on the issue.

    Sanctuary city policies are suicide if Dems attempt to take that message nation-wide. But Trump could pull that sword away before the Dems have a chance to fall on it.

    Is it possible that he is just too good of a President to win a second term?

    They can't win with it in the short run, but in the long run maybe they can. They may be trying to indoctrinate Latinos and make a permanent voting bloc that gives them Florida and eventually Texas. There are several problems with this strategy, but the Dems probably don't see the problems and instead think they can achieve as much success here as they have with blacks.

    LOL....don't be so sure. The "hard left" you refer to is worth an easy 130+ electoral votes. That's more than half needed to win.
